While previous studies had reported controversial results regarding the link between drinking coffee and diabetes, a new study reveals the protective effects of the beverage.
According to the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, individuals drinking at least a cup of coffee per day are one-third less likely to develop type 2 diabetes in the long run.
Only coffee taken during lunchtime regardless of being decaf or caffeinated, with or without sugar influences the risk of diabetes, the study found.
Black coffee was also reported to be more effective than coffee with milk; the significance of this finding, however, was unclear.
The high content of magnesium and chlorogenic acid in coffee is believed to be responsible for the protective effect of the beverage against diabetes due to their antioxidant properties.
